(Ed Note:  Altho named "Rampage", this young boy is actually a real sweetheart/Teddy Bear kind of dog -- owner is young and receiving qualitative mentoring from experienced rescuer  in the community. Vet bills are horrific. So is the story of how he came about such bills. He's a beautiful young dog who has been through quite  the ordeal  in his first year and more trouble to come... Read on, and see if you might be able to lend some dollars towards his medical care... you can see in photos  below, just how sick he was and just how much of a sweetheart he is... )

At less than a year old, my Rottweiler was diagnosed with hip dysplasia. Anti-inflammatories were prescribed and within a few day of his first vet appointment, he was rushed to emergency where he underwent exploratory gastro-intestinal surgery. Doctors performed life-saving surgery repairing an ulcer that went  sideways --  that made him deathly ill. Hospital stay and emergency care resulted in fees in excess of of $10K in addition to the original vet bills of $1.5K for two prior appointments. I owe over $12K and Rampage still requires hip replacement surgery which will be an additional  $7K.  I work in retail and funds are limited. Rampage is my world; he made me whole helping me recover from the loss of my first Rottie's passing. If you could a) help Rampage and I with any donation towards his medical bills or b) if you could post on social media and spread the word about his go fund me account, we would be grateful and appreciate all that you can do to help.
